Jerry Reese is the only general manager in Giants history to not have experienced a losing season. Count up the numbers: 50-38 over six years, including five winning seasons, three playoff appearances and two Super Bowl titles.

Although Reese, coach Tom Coughlin and the rest of his staff deserve a lot of credit, they’ll always point to the “Giants system” as the reason for their success.

George Young poured the foundation for the future when he was named general manager in 1979. After Young retired, Ernie Accorsi (1998-2006) and Reese (2007-present) remained true to his blueprint: build your core through the draft with an emphasis on taking the best player available, trust your scouts, take the emotion out of personnel decisions, entice your key players to re-sign with the team and be very selective when dipping into free agency.

Players who DID NOT stick on the roster/practice squad/season-ending injured reserve for at least the bulk of one season (2): CB DeAndre Wright (6th round, 2009), Stoney Woodson (7th, 2009).

Best value: RB Ahmad Bradshaw (7th-B, 2007). Who else? The guy put up two 1,000-yard seasons and averaged 4.6 yards per carry in six seasons – not to mention his role as a big-play threat and spark plug for the offense. And he was No. 250 overall, making him the deepest draft pick to start for the Giants since S Herb Welch (12th, 1985), who was No. 326, made spot starts in 1986-87.

Worst value: LB Clint Sintim (2nd-A, 2009) was No. 45 in his draft and – injuries aside – was hardly noticed over his four-year stay: 33 total tackles, one sack, one start.

Best class: 2007. All eight players from this draft stuck – and each one (except OL Adam Koets, who did not play that season) made a contribution to a Super Bowl title during their rookie season. The Giants wound up with five starters (CB Aaron Ross, Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith, TE Kevin Boss, S Michael Johnson, RB Ahmad Bradshaw), a rotation DT Jay Alford and Pro Bowl long snapper Zak DeOssie.

Worst class: To be determined.
